Vibration

[01platinum]

Ok yesterday my truck decided to start vibrating sitting still and driving. The vibration can be felt in the floor boards of the truck and heard inside of the cab bit not on the outside. I think the passenger hub is going out so I am going to start there.

Last time I had a vibration like this I replaced the passenger side motor mount and it went away. That was about 3 years ago. Is it common for motor mounts to fail or go bad? If so what is the best way to change a motor mount out? Last time I used a fork lift, I don't have access to that anymore.

Justin, some of the tiniest of things can cause big time vibrations. A downpipe rubbing on the firewall can often be a huge one. A stationary vibration though usually eliminates rotating parts such as carrier bearings, u-joints, hub assemblies, etc., I wouldn't hesitate to look into anything under the hood that might have moved out of place and is now rubbing. Check your exhaust system front to back.

Never broke a motor mount in my time so I cant help you there, other then, now is the time to yank that motor if that is the case

What does it do when your driving, like getting into the throttle and letting off? Does it increase with engine rpm? Does it go away? With it still doing it sitting still you could rule out the hub for your idle vibration... still could be your noise while driving though. Could be two different problems....

It is there when I take off and when I am stopped, it almost seems to go away at a certain speed when running down the road. Taking the truck in today cause I know the ball joints are bad and there are some other parts that are rattling under the truck when I am driving in the neighbor hood.
